Y.A. Dystopian Novel

What if the precious world we have was destroyed?



The answer to that question lies as the background to my upcoming novel.


If the survivors of the human race had to set up a new home among the stars, what would it be like? How would they rebuild society?

Flash forward-- to a seemingly flawless utopia. Everything is perfect. There are no conflicts because thoughts can be transmitted like emails from person to person and viewed like movies through tiny computers on our irises. This way miscommunication is a thing of the past.

Everyone is assigned an occupation so no one is unemployed or homeless.

Everyone is paid exactly the same so the need for envy or jealousy is cured like a disease.


This is the world of Arlene A. first daughter of the A. Family Unit on Installation 04.

This... is her home.


But what happens when the lawless rebels living in the tunnels between Installations are on her doorstep? How does she go on living her life when her routine is interrupted by the Government's army of Enforcers coming to occupy her town?

How can a big sister protect her younger brother when both their lives are thrust into chaos?


Arlene A. knows she must fulfill her promise.
